Young parents take their kids to the beach for a fun, relaxing vacation day. Mom and dad put sunscreen on their preteen girls’ noses before they tan on the beautiful white sand. The younger kids get out the flotation toys, snorkel gear, and water wings, play with a beach ball, or collect shells and starfish. The kids get a ride on dad's shoulders and his son thrills at getting an extra wild spin. Mom and dad take a walk or relax in beach chairs, soaking up this perfect family day.

Plot: Based on Stephen King's Short story "The Body", "Stand By Me" tells the tale of Gordie Lachance, a writer who looks back on his preteen days when he and three close friends went on their own adventure to find the body of a kid their age who had gone missing and presumed dead. The stakes are upped when the bad kids in town are closely tailing - and it becomes a race to see who'll be able to recover the body first.
